The apartment is not yet broken in
a rice cooker softly steams on the counter
there is grease splatter on the stove
12 pack of burgers $7.99 at the store
one chair in the living room
grandmas old sitting chair where she would knit
hairspray stains on the back
2 bedrooms
one with a bed
one with nothing
There's a soft wind
that blows through
when all is well and able
and after I've put this horse to its stable
for the endless pin-hole night

It carries us all through the pin ******
in the curtain
where all gallops, giant and free
past the stumps and grubs
where I had sat upon and ate my old soul
chewing every instance
with every intention of not stopping
Alone.
Felt and pondered upon
through heavy days, with careful songs
and simple tales of the wild.

To take it all,
is to stay the same
a perfect shame
for just loneliness.

But to find the path
that divides the trees from the scrapers of sky
is to transcend, and eat humble pie,
for the world feasts together.
days ago I trotted to my kitchen
from my desk for a glass of water
drinking only half
and leaving the rest to
bubble over
and become stale
now as I write
the glass remains
but is slowly
fleeting
love
is a four letter word
said, and put on display just like the others
for publicity
and self gain
All the stories of love are just stories
told by the old and young wienies in the loving room
it's clear,
with any sense at all,
that love is just as watered down, dull, and *******
as all its users
childish games
disguised as grownup work
the things we all do for money
and justification
and purpose
not coming from our own mind
but others
the greatest share game
we were never ourselves
but at least we shared alot
Certainty lies awake at night inside a lady
second guessing the choices already made
and the choices to come
it wears so many living masks
and even in the sunshine and happiness times
and all the work that's been done
is done with no thought
answers negating answers
direction for directions sake
living for certainties place
You are the way
the only way
music?
More like angelic charming
keep it up

— The End —
